1797 Bremen 2 1/2 Schwaren, PCGS SP64

A very scarce off metal strike in silver, KM-Pn37. 1 Schwaren, for those of us not in the know, was equivalent to 3 Light Pfennig.

Brunswick - historically a Saxon vassel state Brunswick was elevated to a Duchy in 1235. Over the years there have been many minor offshoots of the Duchy and I have listed them
all under this single heading for simplicity.

1699 Brunswick Calenburg Hannover 1 Groschen

Commemorating the marriage of Wilhelmine Amelie to Johann Friedrichs. Even though this is a little banged up along the edges I just love the design.

Not a rare coin but very difficult to find uncirculated. This one with deep and original looking toning.

KM-337 ex Virgil Brand collection. This commemorative was issued for the sitting of the constitutional committee with a mintage of 8,600.

1862 Shooting Medal

In white metal with some hairlines on the reverse, so obviously previously cleaned and not worth grading. Never the less a very attractive design.
